Love the in depth ARCS content, keep up the great work. I’ve never played TI4 and don’t plan to ;)

My favorite sauce at Taco Bell is the fire sauce. I always grab a few extra if I can. I like to put it in ramen or on any variety of snacks. It’s not illegal to grab fistfuls of sauce from the napkin/sauce/silverware area. One time when I was joining through drive thru the cashier gave me 37 packets of “Diablo Sauce”. Not as good as fire sauce. Also, good podcast.

Don’t let the title of the podcasts fool you, or even what they are talking about, there are subtle insights here to dominate your fantasy football league.

After another player’s ship uses Sustain Damage to cancel a hit produced by your units or abilities, destroy that ship.

Hunter doesn’t even hunt or at least never has claimed to have hunted. There’s a surprising lack of political statements which can be misleading with the title of the podcast. A bit too much basamlic and a little overcooked. They once insulted my entire bloodline. Blue tech is never discussed despite being the current meta. They hate green tech. They love green tech way to much it’s definitely not that good. Would recommend

Nuf said.

good cats, nice turtles, okay hosts

My grandson his name is Kyle and he is a sweet boy wants me to watch the Joe Rogan and I don’t know how why does my phone write down everything I say stop it stop it

Hardly hide their Winnu-First agenda …disgusting! A++

Like I said, No comment. Thank you

Episode 287 is the best single episode hands down. No I will not answer questions as to why. If you disagree you obviously haven’t listened to episode 287. Plz go listen to episode 287. Thank you.

I recently decided to try out a smart phone - my granddaughter has been nagging at me to “get with it”. While I do miss my old flip phone with buttons, this iPhone 14 whoziwatzit is truly a marvel of modern technology (and apparently child labor scrapping for the precious metals needed for such a technological miracle). Well, at any rate, the screen has so many little things on it, I tapped one that is labeled “Podcasts” so up came two young gentlemen have a rather obtuse discussion regarding cats and turtles in space - oh and Phil Collins as well. (I just love him! Su-su-sudio forever! Seems weird to just have a button for nothing but these talky guys. The conversation shifted to algebra, specifically “X-1”. But they never did figure out that problem. Anyhoo - check out this thing - I guess this is what that purple “Podcast” square is for on the phone. I should check if my granddaughter knows about this.

This podcast is for nerdy fans of twilight imperium. That alone would make me listen, but the hosts are good dudes who run an awesome community. Join the discord and make friends for life! <3

Great chemistry, great communication skills, great knowledge, great listen!

Can someone help me figure out how to get the podcast to play

I have fun makin’ this dern podcast

These hosts have reviewed and analyzed a unknown number of movies and have thoroughly spread the fandom of those movies to the corners of the world. They also founded/fostered a very welcoming and inclusive community around these movies. I love the discord, especially #nolan-general, #Memetown-aNewHope, and #dumpsterbin. I love the Star Trek coin dozer

I give Hunter and Matt my Support for the Throne.

Since starting this podcast so many things have improved in my life. I get better sleep, I now can mentally control my bodies metabolism at will, I have learned how to tie my shoe laces backwards, and I even began experiencing time as a construct. Can’t recommend this enough!

Pros: The podcast is often funny and while not always 100% on strategy hit the mark 95% or more. Cons: Listen for any length of time and Hunter and Matt will try to push you to the discord for invitational and/or patreon tournaments In the discord you will find a culture that is sexist and racist. And hosts/moderators who make it clear if you don’t appreciate the way the “rules” are half hearted applied you can leave.

Look at these big boys, my sweet nuggets, doing their little podcast things. Almost 300 episodes! Look at how they did their board game thing! I love these little bubulas.

Excellent oblique references to the 538 politics podcast - spot-on audible mixture of interest and disgust regarding Nate Silver’s statistical modeling site and it’s application to the crumbling of American democracy

Best cooking show/ Book review/ self help/ how to treat your clinical depression podcast ever!

Thanks, Matt, for telling us about your cat. His ability to magically wizard up free plastic with his hero is still OP, tho

I found you!!!

Keepin my march open.

The number 1 podcast for all things TI, except you should know that, despite what Matt and Hunter say, you actually need to have an infantry on a planet to swap control of it in Alliance Mode.

. . . Spirit Island is hands down the best board game I know. (Except maybe TI4, if you’ve ever heard of it?) It has an incredible amount of replayability that rivals Amazon’s shopping catalogue. The game can be tailored to your exact comfort and ability level to provide the right amount of challenge (which for Matt puts it both at the top and bottom of his frustration ranking, I’d guess). The amount of choices you have offered to your at every turn is vast which gives you as players an incredible amount of ownership to How you want to beat up the little white invaders. Truly an incredible game that’s impeccably designed with more and more content still to come! PS - Love y’all Matt and Hunter. Thanks for an amazing show about a game I’ve only ever finished once since I started listening over two years ago and have listened to over 500 hours of your voices since. . . 😅

I started this podcast to get better at TI but I only get to play once a year or so, but the hosts are so fun to listen to that it’s still worth it.

Fun to listen to and mostly not shills.

My favorite motorcycle enthusiasm podcast. I love these itty bitty boys.

I simply listen to this podcast because of Ben Prunty’s music. Putting up with Matt and Hunter for two hours is worth it for the bits of music at the end. Five stars!

An excellent podcast deep diving into the culture and strategy surrounding primarily Twilight Imperium and Leder Games. Though every once in a awhile, like say every 250 episodes, there’s a dash of ecological discussion about their namesake critters.

Truly the greatest podcast of a generation — listen well and become enlightened. My favorite episode is the original Winnu guide: I would put it on before meetings with an incompetent supplier. No matter how poorly things would go with them it would never be as bad as a Winnu round one!

Matt and Hunter have found the perfect balance between providing excellent entertainment and incredibly helpful info/strategy for Twilight Imperium. They were the ones that got me hooked on this astoundingly awesome board game, and has kept me connected to this amazing community even after moving overseas. Whether you are a TI4 veteran or are discovering this game for the first time, check it out!

If you play, or ever wanted to play, Twilight Imperium, you need to listen to this podcast!

See above.

You’ll find your barrels and bellies full of laughter in this podcast where Hunter and Matt talk about movies, video games, sports, dating advice, politics, and most importantly board games.

Great podcast if you have a regular IT4 POK group!

You get it.

TI (Twilight imperium) is the super bowl of board games, but can be very difficult to master if you don’t have entire days to spend playing. If you have interest but lack time, look no further! Matt and hunter are here to help with great guides and entertaining banter. They are the heart and soul of the healthy TI 4 community.

In my opinion the best podcast for the most niche subject out there. The two hosts bring a lot of enthusiasm to the table and strike a perfect balance between humor and deep strategic analysis.

These guys are so transparent and silly yet care a ton about what they do. Just fun to listen to as they struggle to unpack game theory that is transferable to pretty much all gameplay. I think the lesson to take away is thinking critically about a single game can still be engaging.

Really appreciate the root primers, I found your show on the Reddit and it has helped a ton for me teaching root to new players and getting them up to speed !

Two fun, good guys. Great mix of comedy and substance. I love that it’s not about 100 different games, instead focusing on TI4 and Root. I always listen day 1.

Great commentary, I love all the guests they have had. From Elon Musk talking about finally colonizing Lodor and seizing the alpha wormhole for intergalactic trade; to all the great MMA icons they’ve had talking about great ground/hand-to-hand combat analyzing the greats like Spec-Ops and the crimson legionnaires.

Episode 101: This Imperium Life 05 Picard’s whole other life on another plant inside a thing with a telescope involved: The Inner Light Riker goes crazy in a mental institution in a play in a mental institution: Frame of Mind Picard on a planet with that guy where he makes up a language and learns his language: Darmok (You actually nearly had that one!) Our Favorite Episodes: Cause and Effect The Inner Light Yesterday’s Enterprise Time’s Arrow Rascals All Good Things... Thanks!

When you thought you already knew it all, you find a new podcast about cat grooming that changes everything. Just goes to show, you just don’t know what you don’t know.

Matt and Hunter do a wonderful job imparting their life lessons in co-parenting their daughter in this constantly evolving intergalactic nightmare we call Twilight Imperium. Popular favorites include episodes such as: “Trading with your toddler”, “When to coerce and when to cuddle”, “First year strategies with your newborn”, “Baby stroller tier list”, and so many more! By the end of each episode, you will be sure to be asking yourself, “How did I learn nothing about parenting but everything about a made up alien race in a 2 hour podcast”, and you’ll beg for more! Space cats peace turtles - 10/10!
